Netflix has stated that they are indeed going to change their pricing structure. They are going to separate DVD and streaming plans ‘to benefit the consumer’. Here are the new prices for the Netflix plans:

$7.99 for 1 DVD out at a time
$11.99 for 2 DVDs out at a time
$7.99 for unlimited streaming (no DVDs or Blu-rays)
$15.98 for 1 DVD and unlimited streaming

According to Netflix, this was done because combining unlimited streaming and DVD rentals at a $9.99 price didn’t make financial sense. Translation: the big movie production houses are demanding more money for their content.
